For this purpose, the material collected from the area between the years 2005 and 2009, within the framework of different projects, was investigated. The investigation of the material taken from various biotopes ranging at depths between 0 and 100 m resulted in identification of 286 mollusc species and 27542 specimens belonging to them. Among the encountered species, Vitreolina cf. perminima (Jeffreys, 1883) is new record for the Turkish molluscan fauna and 18 species are being new records for the Turkish Levantine coast. A checklist of Iskenderun mollusc fauna is given based on the present study and the studies carried out beforehand, and a total of 424 moluscan species are known to be distributed in Iskenderun Bay.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Three species in the gastropod genus Calliostoma are confirmed as living in Deep-Water Coral (DWC) habitats in the NE Atlantic Ocean: Calliostoma bullatum (Philippi, 1844), C. maurolici (Seguenza, 1876) and C. leptophyma Dautzenberg & Fischer, 1896. Up to now, C. bullatum was only known as fossil from Early to Mid-Pleistocene outcrops in DWC-related habitats in southern Italy; our study confirmed its living presence in DWC off Mauritania. A discussion is provided on the distribution of DWC-related calliostomatids in the NE Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea from the Pleistocene to the present.

(•***) Key Words: Trochidae, Calliostoma granulation, feeding, shell wiping, spawning. Riassunto Sono state condotte osservazioni in acquario su tre aspetti della biologia di Calliostoma granulatum (deposizione dell’ovatura, ripulitura della conchiglia ed alimentazione). La specie mostra una notevole eurifagia, predando cnidari, molluschi, crostacei ed echinodermi; gli cnidari sembrano costituire la componente preferenziale della dieta. Summary Aquarium observations on three aspects of biology of Calliostoma granulatum (spawning, shell wiping, and feeding) were performed. The species shows a considerable europhagy, by preying upon cnidarians, molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms; cnidarians seem to be the preferential food-source. Introduzione Sui Trochidae esiste un'ampia letteratura, tuttavia i lavori riguardanti la biologia sono percentualmente scarsi. Le informazioni disponibili sulla biologia del genere Calliostoma sono frammentarie e non sempre compara- bili tra loro. Ciò dipende da osservazioni effettuate con metodi diversi, su specie diverse, concernenti aspetti differenti della biologia. Per quanto ri- guarda ad es. l’alimentazione, sono disponibili sia dati ottenuti con metodi indiretti, come l'esame dei contenuti stomacali e fecali (Moore, 1932; Perron, 1975; Fretter & Graham, 1977; Guidastri, 1979), sia osservazioni dirette di soggetti in

Therefore, seamounts can only exist where there are sea beds more than one kilo- metre deep, or, which is one and the same thing, over 60%–62% of the land surface1. There are also thousands of smaller elevations that tend to be known as abyssal hills (when they are less than 500 metres) or mounds (between 500 and 1,000 metres). Whether in isolation or as part of extensive ranges, there are possibly more than 100,000 sea- mounts around the world2. At present, close to 30,000 of them have been identified, of which around 1,000 can be found in the Atlantic Ocean3, where in addition the largest range in the world can be found; the Mid–Atlantic Ridge, which stretches from Iceland to the Antarctic.

Calliostoma conulum, distribution area, Galicia, northwest Spain ABSTRACT. The Galician (NW Spain) population of Calliostoma conulum (Linnaeus, 1758) is analyzed, and it is confirmed that the species is rather common in this area. The geographical distribution of the species is figured. Some différences with the Mediterranean populations are shown and the radula is figured for the first time. INTRODUCTION Parenzan (1970), Nicolay & Angioy (1985), Sabelli, Giannuzzi-Savelli & Bedulli (1990), and represented Calliostoma conulum (Linnaeus, 1758) is mainly in Giannuzzi-Savelli, Pusateri, Palmeri & Ebreo known from the Mediterranean sea. It has been (1994). After Ghisotti & Melone (1971), the species is frequently confused or synonymized with other absent in the Black Sea, but it was recorded on the species. The spécifie name is conulum instead coast of north Africa (Pallary, 1900, 1912) and in the conulus, because stoma is neuter in Greek. Alboran Sea (Salas & Luque, 1986). Pasteur-Humbert (1962) mentions the following distribution: SYSTEMATICS Mediterranean Sea (Spain, France, Italy, Sicily, Corsica, Algeria, Tunis, Adriatic Sea, Egean Sea), The following names are considered as synonyms in Atlantic (Portugal, Madeira, Canary and Azores), and Sabelli étal.

An Annotated Checklist of the Marine Molluscs of the South Adriatic Sea (Montenegro) and a Comparison with Those of Neighbouring Areas

As a baseline for future studies that will enhance the knowledge of this fauna, we have compiled a checklist combining the existing published data with original data from a recent research. Examination of sampled material and a review of the relevant literature revealed the presence of 354 mollusc species. Twelve species have been recorded for the first time in Montenegrin waters, 7 species are of non-native origin while 14 taxa are recognized as endangered and threatened, according to the IUCN Red List and the Barcelona/Berne Conventions. A comparison of our results with those of the neighbouring seas indicates that mollusc fauna is insufficiently studied, but we should bear in mind that the number of recorded species in relation to the size of the researched area points to a rich malacofauna zone. Keywords: Marine molluscs, checklist, alien species, Montenegro, Adriatic Sea. Introduction From a geomorphologic viewpoint, the Montenegrin coast can be divided into two main Molluscs are important components of marine parts: the Bay of Boka Kotorska and the open sea.

The Lower Pliocene Gastropods of Le Pigeon Blanc (Loire- Atlantique, Northwest France)

Infante de Henrique 7, Areias São João, P-8200 Albufeira, Portugal; [email protected] 4 corresponding author Received 4 December 2015, revised version accepted 11 April 2016. In this paper we review the Patellogastropoda and Vetigastropoda of the Zanclean lower Pliocene assemblage of Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire-Atlantique department, France, which we consider the ‘type’ locality for Assemblage III of Van Dingenen et al. (2015). Three patellogastropod and 28 vetigastropod species are recorded, of which eleven are new: Emarginula brebioni nov. sp., Jujubinus armatus nov. sp., Jujubinus pigeonblancensis nov. sp., Jujubinus condevicnumensis nov. sp., Jujubinus ligeriensis nov. sp., Gibbula provosti nov. sp., Gibbula milleti nov. sp., Colliculus neraudeaui nov. sp., ?Tectus columbinus nov. sp., Calliostoma namnetense nov sp. and Microgaza landreauensis nov. sp. This includes possibly the first European Pliocene record for the genus Tectus. Calliostoma tauromiliare (Sacco, 1896) is considered a junior synonym of Calliostoma baccatum (Millet, 1865). Based on the data presented here, we suggest that the average Sea Surface Temperatures off the NW French coast in the Zanclean lower Pliocene may have been warmer than they are at these latitudes today, possibly similar to those found today off the southern Portuguese coasts.
